SOs/ACs are being asked to provide guidance on diversity goals for the program. These may include, but are not limited to, skills and experience, stakeholder group affiliation, region, gender, and language. ICANN org will use this list of goals to inform the program’s outreach and promotion strategy. Input is welcome on any specific local, regional, or global events where promoting the Fellowship Program would help identify strong candidates. These goals will be revised by the SOs/ACs every two years. WEBINAR: Update From the ICANN Board’s CEO Search Committee To gather input from the ICANN Community and the broader Internet ecosystem, the Search Committee has planned a series of Board Listening Sessions, the first of which took place last month during ICANN76.

We are looking for participation from community members in the trend identification sessions through their Supporting Organization (SO) or Advisory Committee (AC). ICANN will collaborate with SO and AC chairs and support teams to schedule sessions from March through May 2023. This program is a joint effort of the ICANN ecosystem to identify and track trends that are related to ICANN. This ensures that the opportunities and challenges are incorporated into current and future planning. Once trends are identified, ICANN will conduct a trend analysis and impact assessment. Significant shifts could result in adjustments to the strategic plan. Moreover, new trends or shifts in existing trends also impact the operating plans (five-year or annual) and/or budget, and are factored into the annual iteration of those plans as appropriate. All strategic outlook sessions will be conducted virtually, and community members are encouraged to join this important discussion. We look forward to your participation in this dialogue about ICANN planning and strategy. Thank you for your support in the ICANN planning process.

We are looking for participation from community members in the trend identification sessions through their Supporting Organization (SO) or Advisory Committee (AC). ICANN will collaborate with SO and AC chairs and support teams to schedule sessions from March through May 2023. This program is a joint effort of the ICANN ecosystem to identify and track trends that are related to ICANN. This ensures that the opportunities and challenges are incorporated into current and future planning. Once trends are identified, ICANN will conduct a trend analysis and impact assessment. Significant shifts could result in adjustments to the strategic plan. Moreover, new trends or shifts in existing trends also impact the operating plans (five-year or annual) and/or budget, and are factored into the annual iteration of those plans as appropriate. All strategic outlook sessions will be conducted virtually, and community members are encouraged to join this important discussion. We look forward to your participation in this dialogue about ICANN planning and strategy. Thank you for your support in the ICANN planning process.
